I got to know Spec Bowers during the Greg Moore … oops, sorry; of course, I mean the Bill O’Brien … speakership. For a “Yale man,” he was a good guy. A rare breath of intellectual fresh air in the very short-lived GOP supermajority elected in 2010 by the TeaParty wave.

Chuck Morse’s Only Chance To Mass Up Kelly’s Coronation
The NHGOP gubernatorial primary looks more like a coronation … of Kelly Ayotte … than a primary. Ayotte regularly rolls out endorsements from establishment-officeholders and focuses on the Democrats, while Chuck Morse runs the traditional NHGOP-establishmentarian lose-gracefully campaign.
Closing the GOP Primary
If the GOP wants to have a closed primary, it doesn’t need permission from the Secretary of State to do that. It doesn’t have to alter what happens at polling places run by the state.
The GOP Can Win Women With The Hope Agenda
Conservatives focus on their base, but even the most ardent now recognize that their failure to persuade swing voters, and particularly women, is a giant wall — maybe the only wall the left likes — dropped across the road to victory.
The Santos Expulsion … GOP Show They Are Cowards And Frauds
What are the two major accomplishments of the U.S. House GOP? Fully funding … repeatedly … the Biden agenda and expelling a solid conservative based merely on allegations of wrongdoing. Not convictions but merely allegations. Nearly ONE-HALF of the GOP Reps joined with the Democrats to expel George Santos.
It’s Not all Bad News: Louisiana Republicans Just Took Complete Control of State Government
Republicans in New Hampshire might want to call Lousiana and ask them what the secret sauce is to their recent electoral success. After Saturday’s run-off elections, “Republicans secured all of Louisiana’s statewide offices for the first time since 2015.”

Bananas GOP 3: Return of the Son of Ramaswamy
The Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, Florida, was the site of the third Republican debate. Missing from the stage were candidates Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, and that guy Doug, as was the Reagan Library plane that disappeared like the hopes of the three vanquished old white guys.
Off Year Elections Show Abortion Still Number One Issue
There appears to be no issue that motivates voters as much as Abortion rights. You can maybe add the legalization of recreational Marijuana as a close second. There were a limited number of states with elections this year, but three states in particular should be warning signs for both Parties.
Whether We Like It or Not, We Are Indeed in a War of Survival
Conflicts within the Republican party with internal divisions and power struggles have hindered their ability to present a united front, weakening them when facing their Democrat counterparts. Thus, this source of distraction has rendered them less effective in providing a compelling alternative to Democrat policies and initiatives.
At Least One Person Was Not Happy to See Me at the NHGOP Leadership Summit
When you show up at large events with mostly like-minded people in a state the size of New Hampshire, you will see people you know. If you write for GraniteGrok, some will know your work. The odds that they will not all love it seem likely, which is a good sign. We’re not monolithic bots. Debate is good.
Pay Attention To The Outrage – It Tells You Everything You Need To Know
Did you see Faux News’ Kilmeade’s “interview” of Rep. Burchett? Kilmeade is unhinged with rage over the ouster of McCarthy. So unhinged that he even mocks Burchett’s faith. Here is the “interview”:
The GOP Establishment Failed Again
The GOP lost another special election. It wasn’t just the candidate, it wasn’t Trump. It was the GOP establishment that lost the election. The Committee to Elect House Republicans (GOP in NH) created the candidate’s web page. The Issues section is so bland it could have been written about a Democrat.
The State Of The GOP … Controlled Opposition
What have we gotten from Republicans since the Biden-Regime seized power? Tough talk … but empty words … because NO ACTION to back up the talk … indeed, just the opposite. For example, here is Lisa Murkowski talking tough, literally hours after acting in concert with the Biden-Regime. It’s a put-on. The GOP is controlled … Read more
Vivek Ramaswamy Vaults the Polls to National Prominence
When the first Republican primary debate ended people knew things were never going to be the same again. The exact time it happened cannot be pinpointed but the onstage career politicians had figured it out. Something dynamic had happened.
Vote Against the “Continuing Resolution” to Continue Spending Us Into Oblivion
Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG) rattled the cages of the Republican Party in DC promising to vote against a Continuing Resolution to fund the government unless the House passes impeachment inquiries against President Joe Biden and to protect President Trump from the Democratic weaponization of the Courts and agencies attacking him. Wow! That got folks’ attention … Read more
Political Cognitive Dissonance Rampant In New Hampshire
So I came across this. One of Sun-King Sununu’s minions boasting that His Majesty has a 91 percent approval rating among Republicans: Yet the polls simultaneously show that President Trump … the anti-Sununu … is trouncing the field in FITN: There are several explanations for these seemingly irreconcilable results. One is that UNH polling STINKS. … Read more
The GOP-Swamp Cares ONLY About Destroying Trump
Here is what should be obvious … painfully obvious … by this point. The GOP-swamp, the GOP-elites, the GOP-establishment … whatever you want to call them … have much, much more in common with the Biden-regime than they have in common with GOP voters. Stated slightly differently, the GOP swamp-creatures … Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, … Read more
The GOP Is Complicit In The Lynching Of Donald Trump
Must-see tweet by Charlie Kirk showing all the ways the GOP could have and could be fighting back against the Police State but aren’t. Instead all we get is so-and-so going on Twitter and expressing “strong disapproval” or so-and-so on going on Hannity and “hammering the DOJ,” … blah, blah, blah. This failure to actually … Read more
And Another Example Of Why The NHGOP Is LOSING
When the Communists Democrats get power, they use it. When the Republicans get power, they DON’T (except for things that matter to the GOP-ruling class: business tax cuts, multi-family-housing, etc.) .
